Kate Fitz-Gibbon – Our National Crisis: Violence Against Women & Children (Gleebooks, Sydney)

In conversation with Lucy Turnbull

Violence against women and children is a national crisis. Nearly a decade has passed since family violence was first declared a national emergency in 2015, and yet communities are still taking to the streets to demand greater leadership and action, and the media continues to report on women killed on a weekly basis.

In Our National Crisis, Kate Fitz-Gibbon explains why violence against women and children is not a series of isolated incidents but a pervasive, systemic issue. Addressing domestic, family and sexual violence requires a national effort across the full spectrum of prevention, early intervention, response, and recovery and healing.

Our National Crisis is a call to action, and everyone has a role to play – from politicians to corporate leaders, community and specialist organisations, through to family, friends and neighbours, with actionable hope for a future free from all forms of violence against women and children.
